Massachusetts Residential Real Estate Attorneys

Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant financial decisions most people make. At Beliveau Law Group, we help clients navigate the residential real estate process with confidence, clarity, and legal protection at every step. Our real estate attorneys and Certified Public Accountant (CPA) provide experienced counsel to ensure that your transaction aligns with your legal and financial goals.

We advise buyers and sellers throughout the Greater Boston area, assisting with:

• Buyer and Seller Representation
• Offers and Purchase & Sale Agreements
• Title Examinations and Title Insurance
• Residential Conveyancing
• Homestead Declarations
• Short Sales and Refinances
• Like-Kind Exchanges

Trusted Legal Support for Buyers and Sellers

Even when working with a broker, it’s important to understand that brokers do not provide legal advice and may not fully protect your interests. In many transactions, the standard forms used for offers and purchase agreements need to be customized to address unique circumstances, contingencies, or risk factors. Our attorneys review or draft these documents with your specific situation in mind—ensuring the terms serve your best interests and reduce the risk of disputes.

Buyers, in particular, should be aware that unless they have hired a dedicated buyer’s broker and legal counsel, they may not be fully represented. The listing agent typically works for the seller, and the closing attorney in financed transactions often represents the lender. We step in to represent your interests exclusively—guiding you through inspection issues, financing concerns, deposit questions, and other key decisions.

More Than Just a Real Estate Closing

Our firm brings a broader perspective to real estate transactions, thanks to our deep experience in estate planning, asset protection, business law, and tax planning. This allows us to offer insight into how your real estate decisions may impact other aspects of your financial life.

For example:

• Transferring your home into a revocable trust may affect your homestead protection.
• The type of title insurance policy you purchase can impact future transfers and ownership structures.
• A like-kind exchange (1031 exchange) requires careful coordination between real estate and tax rules—our attorney-CPA team helps you evaluate both.

By addressing these issues early, we help clients avoid costly mistakes and achieve peace of mind that their property decisions support their long-term goals.
